IT'S BEEN A WHILE... WE MISSED YOU ALL!

T.D.D. STYLE FILES | Fall Fashion Frenzy

Like most fashionistas we rejoice in the onset of fall. Seasonal winds bring an onslaught of many little things that make us grin: PSLs, denim anything and everything, leather boots, apple-picking season, autumn hues, chunky knits, and the list goes on...

On the fashion side of things, we have always loved fall styles best. The seasonal colors that accent our wardrobes make us feel warm and comfy: burnt orange, candy apple red, mustard yellow, brown rust, poppy gold. We get to dig into the depths of our closets and bring front and center once again old favorites (Frye boots, Polo sweaters). And of course it means layers. Lots of them. 

Unfortunately, fall has eluded L.A., as of yet, leaving us in a seasonal purgatory somewhere between summer and the promise of fall. Some days we are in denial that it is still 82 degrees and sundress-weather and we will wear our boots and flannels and scarves anyways – because it's mid-October and we should be allowed to do so (even if it means being uncomfortably warm and impractical all day).

In an effort to navigate dressing for this unseasonable weather, we've compiled a little impromptu style guide for our fellow SoCal gals - inclusive of special occasions and everyday wear. We've coupled the comforts of fall styles with the ease and informality of end-of-summer to create two unique looks sure to help you stand out at your next get together.

FLOWERS AND FARMER'S MARKETS

---

We took advantage of this weekend: its sun, its splendor and all that LA has to offer on a gorgeous day in March. We started off the weekend with a trip to IKEA. That massive Swedish store with instruction booklets that look like coloring books. It's a store that serves as a catalyst for couples fighting; if they don't get you at the store, they'll get you when you're trying to assemble the dresser you purchased. But by some miracle, Thira (who I will now refer to as T) and I explored and imagined our future homes with the help of the pre-designed kitchens and bedroom sets, without the use of profanity or angry gestures. We had no intention of buying any large items, like a bed frame - although we do have matching bed frames from IKEA- but instead vowed to purchase little additions for the apartment. Small things that make life easier, but nothing too noticeable or fancy. Simply little somethings to make Mondays a bit brighter.
